Is reggaeton not the worse genre of music ever?

[melraH]

Breh there is a distinct between what Playero and El General were doing wayyyyyy back in the 90s. Here in NY we used to fukk with this we Playero mix CDs real heavy. This is when you called it "Spanish Reggae" because cats were on different riddims and doing their own thing with it. On the other hand El General, I felt like, was paying homage even tho he kinda had a Super Cat ting going on but it came off as reggae in Spanish. And these two tracks are both classics





And his "Tu Pum Pum" track is considered a pioneering Spanish Reggae track even tho it's basically his take on something that was already out there.

El General is from Panama, repped his black/African culture and introduced something into the Spanish speaking Caribbean world that THEN was appropriated by Puerto Ricans (and Dominicans later on) and morphed into Reggaeton. General (and other Spanish reggae artists back then) weren't on this one riddim shyt. They actually had songs and you could tell one from another.

Oddly enough, General is a Jehovas Witness now and doesn't even rock with the music stuff anymore.

yes there is a clear difference between back then and now, they payed homage specially el general , but my main point continues I hate the new shyt I went to a Domiinican club I hate dembow music specially El alphas music he is stupid and repetitive, But once my selfhating Dominican queens starting shaking that ass .

People really dissing Grime and Baile Funk/Carioca in here?

No appreciation for Afro-Brazilian rhythms?

 

[Curioser]

you are talking shyt b, im as insecure as Carlos Santana

this is coming from a mexican.....

And this conflicts with my post in what way? But I'll take the bait.... ranchero is African? The Yoruba had mariachis? Congolese was doing decima?

Explain to me where the African comes in here? Carlos Santana is just pandering. But again show me any Cuban anywhere ever who said Cuban music wasn't derived from Africa? You can't so stfu.

PR Reggaeton Been around since 1992-1993 with" the noise" and "DJ playero" mixtapes, Daddy Yankee and em as teenagers been put in the work.

I Used to hate the shyt when I first heard it cause i was heavy into super cat , shabba ranks ,cutty ranks the bam bam its murder tapes.
Until Them PR,DR chicks started shaking they asses all over me at parties
shytttttttt if you want to be more technical about it them PR dudes swagger jacked the whole style from panama, look up El general first spanish reggae artist he was mainstream and on every latin country getting heavy radio play in 1990-91,

Pr dudes Ran with it, And now they moved onto trap music yes pr dudes are doing spanish trap music and its getting heavy radio play in the us latin stations and in every latin country and getting millions of views on youtube.

so in conclusion if you hate reggaeton You never danced a whole set with a latin chick shaking her ass on you for 25 mins

These nikkas is lames b....

Because you claimed the creators of Salsa, rumba, and cha cha chat don't which is a bold faced lie. Be nuanced in your criticism or els you look like an idiot.

Por que estas enojado perrito


I agree though, with the exception of Tego..

shyt is the worst

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Its bad enough theres no bass line to the music, and the drums are non-existant...but its completely inexcusable for the music to always be that corny.

And worse, they try to steal reggae but are ashamed of it so they give it a lil twist enough to fool people into thinking its different.

shyts trash

No, that would be your kinfolks music, Bhangra.

 

[DirtyMoney]

All i know is that espacito sounds like pure sex.. That shyt is piff

 

[Doctor Wily]

Brazilian funk is fire

 

[Big Blue]

Sorry to my latino brehs, but I can't jiggy with a genre that uses the same drum pattern in EVERY. SINGLE. SONG.

Pretty much...nikkas enjoy looking and sounding stupid as fukk on a topic they know nothing about

Everytime I hear reggaeton, I remember that reggaeton movie Omarion and that dude from "how to make it in america" was in.
